The Loss of the Arizona Will Be
a Heavy Blow to the
New Ship-Yards.
All the Machinery Destined for the New
Yards Goes to the Bottom With
the Sinking Ship.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 18.-Great ex-
citcment vas caused here by the report
that the Arizona had burned near Mar
quette. The machinery for the new Du-
luth ship yard was on board, and Capt.
McDongall received II telegram saying the
boat was a total loss. The loss of the
machinery is Il serious blow to the build
ing of the ship yard here, as Scot
land is the nearest point
in which this machinery is
manufactured and it was from that point
that it was shipped to Duluth. The Ari-
zona belonged to the Anchor line and the
total loss is $500 0. There was also in
the boat q large quantity of merchandise
billed to Duluth merchants. Duluth
losses are fully covered by insurance.

port. as at that date marine insurance no
longer remains in force. T%wcnty-four

TIE prospects for the approaching
winter are more favorable from every
standpoint than they we're last year.
First-stock of all CLASSES go into the
winter in better condition; feed this
summer has been abundant and the
general condition of range stock is
far above what it was IL year ago.
Second-the number OF cattle upon
the range has been 80 materially re-
duced that if there was no improve
ment in the condition of the ranges
there would be far better prospects
for the winter from the fact that the
demand has been so largely reduced.
With better ranges and also the fact
of smaller bands the outlook for the
cattle interests is quite encouraging

Nearly Il Million Dollars Damage Done
the Famous Sllowman's Mrna:crie.
B%ElpGEPoEr, Conn, Nov. 2l-The
main building of Barnuln \ Bailey's
greatest show on earth was entirely de-
stroycd by fire about l0:30 O'Clock.
Thousands of people Were drawn to the
spot. In less than thirty minutes the big
building, which was G00x200 feet and two
stories high, was consumed. Tho first
intimation of the fire was given by the
roaring of the lions and tigers, which
seemed to realize the impending danger.
In an incredibly short time the flames
swept from one end of the structure to
the other. There were six watchmen
employed on the premises, but they were
helpless to check the flames. Before tho
fist alarm ceased sounding the whole
building was envelopcd in fire
and no one dared to approach
it, being fearful of the crazed an
imuls. Three elephants Were burned
up and thirty-siX broke from
their fastenings and dashed through the
sides of the burning building. Their
roars and tru1npetings and sounds of tor
mont, were terrific.

TIE dark lantern call for IL conven
ton to meet ut Aberdeen the 18th of
December, for the purpose of giving
an expression to the claims Of Dakota
to admission as IL state, seems to he
fatherless. 1t is evidently the inten-
ton of the under handed manipula-
tions Of the scheme to ignore the fact
that there was a majority in favor Of
division at the late election. They
appear to have tho intention to 60 be-
fore Congress and represent that the
people of Dakota wish to come in as
a great empire state. Even if the
territory should he divided, it could
enter the Union as two great states
each much greater than the empire

returns, official and unofficial, from sixty
out of the eighty-six organized counties
in the territory foot up 80, 1903 for division
md q, 796 against division, or a total of
$500 votes. OF the twenty counties
not yet heard from it is safe to estimate
that the official will show about
10,292 votes cast, of which at least 5000
will be against division. This will make
the total vote on division in the territory
in round figures 6 5000 and the majority
for division 5000.
